houseVotes84: Modified 1984 United States Congressional Voting Records Database
Description
This data set includes votes for each of the U.S. House of
Representatives Congressmen on the 16 key votes identified by the
CQA. The CQA lists nine different types of votes: voted for, paired
for, and announced for (these three simplified to yea), voted
against, paired against, and announced against (these three
simplified to nay), voted present, voted present to avoid conflict
of interest, and did not vote or otherwise make a position known
(these three simplified to an unknown disposition).
Originally containing a binomial variable "class" and 16 other
binary variables, those 16 variables have been renamed to simply
"V1","V2",...,"V16".
